USA Network Working on New Sci-Fi Project With ‘The 4400′ Director

USA Network has tapped Yves Simoneau, who directed the pilot for the network’s last genre series, "The 4400," to direct the alien drama pilot "Horizon," reports Deadline.com.

The project marks USA’s return to science fiction, with casting currently under way and production slated to start this summer.

"Horizon" is set at the height of World War II and is about a secretary at the FBI who investigates files stamped with the codename "horizon," the story says. Her work arouses the interest of Nazi spies in the U.S., and links the death of her husband and the disappearance of a young girl.
